Me too. And the cemetery and museum.
It is said the Japs made the prisoners stand on the bridge to deter the bombers, but the bombers were so high they couldn't tell the people were prisoners, so they bombed it anyway and the river ran red.
I thought the aircraft were American based in China. Is that wrong?

No bollocks and don't answer a question directed at me on my behalf...ok?
